Curriculum

The Physical Therapy Orthopaedic Residency is a full-time 12-month program. Residents experience more than 1,400 hours of clinical practice and an additional 200 hours of individual mentored time from highly trained physical therapists.

Didactic and laboratory education, including manual therapy psychomotor skill acquisition, is integrated throughout the curriculum and modeled after the orthopaedic physical therapy description of specialty practice.

Grading or evaluation

Mayo's system of evaluation provides students and faculty with a comprehensive look at individual performance. This allows faculty and administrative staff to direct students who are experiencing academic difficulty to the appropriate support resources, including tutoring programs and counseling opportunities.

Curriculum enhancements

Mayo School of Health Sciences is committed to developing and maintaining the best education programs. The curriculum and other aspects of this program are routinely assessed and changed as necessary to ensure the highest quality training.
